Is Molly a no-coiner ? I get that impression but not super familiar with her.
Anyway, if she is, she's providing an example here of how no-coiners can be useful. Bullshit busting of crypto-scamming frauds like Chris Dixon. Sadly, she's providing this service of identifying sharks while ignoring the life-boat that is Bitcoin.

Yeah, I've been reading through some of her other stuff in the past 20 minutes. She looks to be an intelligent, usefully critical, no-coiner. Haven't found an overt denunciation of Bitcoin but a few suggestions that she is anti or at least a 'non-believer'. (Her style is more documentary and she seems to indicate her own opinions through irony and sarcasm.)
I had some recollection of coming across her before and when I checked her profile on twitter, found that I was already following her and had previously added her to my private lists of 'AI Scepticism' and 'Good BTC sceptics' (1 of only 3 on that list; informed & intelligent BTC sceptics are hard to find).

She's a pretty good analyst.

So he wrote a book about being ignored?

Not about the book, but I liked this quote a lot.
RSS is dead, he repeats endlessly throughout the book.
It's profoundly weird to read RSS's obituary as a person who checks her very-much-still-alive feed reader several times a day to get everything from cryptocurrency news to dinner ideas, and who rarely encounters a website that doesn't provide a functional feed.

It's "dead" to tech VCs who don't see any way to make money from it. You can basically understand all VC analysis through this lens. If it can make them rich, it's innovative and good. If not, it's dead.
(Which is also why they consider bitcoin dead, they would rather premine "web3" shitcoins to dump on retail.)
